REVIEW: Oriflame Silk Beauty White Glow Anti-perspirant 24h Deodorant


Guest Post by Gurpreet


Hey Girlz,
I usually have 2 deodorants in my body care kit so that I don’t get bored with one J. Few weeks back I was on a hunt of a replacement of one of my deodorants and considering my past experience with the night cream (reviewed here) I thought of trying something from Oriflame. I got a product catalogue from my parlour lady and she also told me about the various offers going on that month. I noticed their Silk Beauty collection and a very nice summery looking White Glow APD and bought it.


Ingredients: Aqua, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Ppg-15 Stearyl Ether, Steareth-2, Cyclopentasiloxane, Propylene Glycol, Steareth-21, Cyclohexasiloxane, Parfum, Glycerin, Allantoin, Morus Alba Extract, Silk Amino Acids, Sodium Chloride, Prunus Serrulata, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid

Quantity:  50ml
Price: 179 INR (I got this for 130 under a promotion)
Packaging: It is a roll on deo that comes in small cream-ish plastic bottle with a dull peach-ish pink plastic cover.

 Application/Usage: Just glide onto your underarms; 1-2 strokes are enough for me.

My take on Oriflame Silk Beauty White Glow APD: It is a usual roll-on deo. It took me sometime before I started liking it, because I didn’t like its fragrance much. It has a slight woody fragrance (unable to give a better description, sorry). But soon when I was over the fragrance, I liked this deo for its ani-perspirant effects and its long lasting nature. Can’t say much about their 24hr claim, but it really lasts for 8-10 hours.
When all's said and done, it is a good alcohol-free APD.

Pros:
·         Come in a roll-on packaging (might be a cons for some; but I am a fan of roll-ons)
·         No irritation or itching
·         Some roll-ons are sticky but this one is not#
·         Leaves no patches on the skin
·         Fully justifies the anit-perpirant effect
·         Long lasting

Cons:
·         Fragrance is little strong for me. Personally I don’t like deos that have a strong fragrance; I use deos for their anti-perspirant nature and not as a perfume.
·         Availability could be a challenge; not really available on online shopping websites, shopping malls, general stores, outlets. You have to find an Oriflame rep to order this.

Rating: B

Conclusion: It is an average sort of product; nothing fancy and nothing too bad. I won’t really recommend this and won’t buy this again due to the fragrance (might sound little finicky :-P).
Which deo are you currently using??
Cheers!

  4. I have been using this product for 9 months. It is a great choice than any other product available in indian market.

    Pros:
    Removes all your dark patch.
    Fragrance lasts for 12 to 14 hours
    Every products made from oriflame are tested on humans and it has thousands of scientists working on the team, so ultimately guaranteed for skin.
    Cons:
    Strong fragrance, but if u are a person who doesn't like strong fragrance, you can choose other flavors too. There are mild flavours
    And yeah, these oriflame products are not easily available on markets. U need to find an oriflame representative.

    Myself I am a oriflame representative. Incase someone who have query regarding the product or someone who wants to become an oriflame representative, or someone who wants to buy oriflame products can mail me.
